Fair enough. I did only completely change the name.
BTW, the word "Accessory" shouldn't be there. It should just be

Not exactly, but that's a part of the big picture. Basically, the
theme-based categories (Castle, Space and Town) need to go away. They are
hard to use, they make it hard to find pieces.

I don't have all my references handy. It's possible that the TLC official
name for this part is something along the lines of "large sword". I tend
to go along with the official names, when possible.

Sorta yes, sorta no. It certainly has the form (cruciform) to be a
medieval great-sword, but it's only a one-hand grip. A greatsword should
be a full two-hand item. At least, that's how I understand the definition
of a great-sword.
Then again, any sword as long as this monster should have a two-hand grip.
Only Andre the Giant could wield this baby one-handed. So we could just
say that it's a greatsword, and TLC really messed up on the grip.

Interesting. I see it. I'm not the final expert on numbering, but I take
this to mean that the generic (uncolored) number for this part is 71014.
Let me verify this. I'll get back to you.

Nah, see above. The 0 CATEGORY meta-statement will show "Minifig
Accessory", but not the title/descriptive name.

I've got a note that says I asked if you could reorient and renumber the
katana and the longarm musket.

Yes.
